That breastplate wouldn't help in the slightest D: In fact, it'd just guide the point of any blade directly to her sternum, and thusly, her heart. That, or up to her collarbone and through the throat or down to her stomach where she'd be gutted.

It's true that the curvature of the plate, presumably shaped for her breasts specifically, is ridiculous and inefficient; a thrust directed toward the chest would naturally tend to slide in between the two mounds. On the other hand, even with its horribly inefficient design, iron/steel armor would still offer significant protection, particularly from cutting attacks, and is likely to deflect a thrust despite it being guided to her sternum. At the very least, it's a whole lot better than going into battle with no armor at all.

Maybe the while thing is just a complicated bra, is not like a lot of people can get close to her anyways.
